❓ Question on Notice regarding the environmental assessment of the Westport development in Cockburn Sound, specifically concerning dolphins, fish, and cumulative environmental impacts. The Minister's response indicates the assessment is still in progress.

I refer to the environmental assessment of the Westport development in Cockburn Sound, and I ask:(a) Has the Environmental Protection Authority identified Cockburn Sound as a breeding or nursery habitat for dolphins or commercially important fish species;(b) What baseline population data exists for resident dolphin populations within Cockburn Sound;(c) Has the potential for behavioural displacement of dolphins due to construction noise been formally assessed;(d) Has cumulative environmental impact, including historic seagrass loss and industrial activity, been incorporated into the assessment framework; and(e) How has the precautionary principle under the Environmental Protection Act 1986 been applied in assessing scientific uncertainty associated with long-term ecological impacts?

(a)-(e) The State and Commonwealth environmental impact assessment processes for the future container port in Kwinana are in progress.
